Erected in downtown Salem in 1992\, this was an important moment for the city\, as Salem continued to process the legacy and significance of these tragic events as a modern community. During the years leading up to the 300th anniversary\, the Salem Witch Museum's Executive Director and Education Director focused almost exclusively on this project. Drawing on our archives\, we will examine such topics as\, the discussions around the need for a permanent memorial\, funding\, the design selection\, tercentenary events\, and the creation of the Salem Award. This presentation will also discuss how the memorial has been treated by visitors and the community since its unveiling.\n\n \n\nJoin us on Friday\, August 19 at 6:30 pm EST for this hour-long\, free virtual event. We will record the event for those who are unable to attend live. The recording will be available on our website and YouTube page for future accessibility.
